Anyways, did I already mention the Holiday Market at Union Square? Perhaps not. Well it's an on-going (well till the 24th) market with various vendors selling all sorts of things, from body products, to handmade baby onsies, to belts, to nifty watches, to jewelry. You name it, it's there (if it's neat and NY worthy, of course). That's where I met the Delong Ceramics lady. I counted at least five booths with handmade products, which made me quite happy! This lady from Australia had the nicest jewelry, somewhat similar to Dottyspeck's Cloud Necklaces, but with other shapes, like birds and butterflies. They were lovely, I SO wanted the bird necklace. *sigh* Unfortunately, she didn't have a business card, so I don't know her name or email/website. Has anyone stopped over her booth???

Hehe these cute plushies represent bacterias, germs and diseases. Homeboy in the middle is the Black Plague. How bloody cute. I wish diseases were this adorable.

And yes, I went to the Ribbon District. Okay I have no idea if it's really called like so, but come on, an entire block (39th between 5th and 6th avenues) full of ribbon, beads and trimming stores. Come on. It deserves its own map. Or something. These ribbons down here were bought at MJ Trimmings (dear God a whole store dedicated to ribbons! ARGHH TOO MUCH!) and some other store... was it called So Good Ribbons? Or somethin'.

Today I finally tried my Shrinky Dink thingies! Oh they turned out so lovely and cute! Yes there was actual evidence of this success, but said evidence turned out blurry and ugly. So tomorrow you shall see my glorious shrinky dinks. Started a prototype for the X-MAS CARDS*. Me believes it looks quite sweet. Oh also bought Interpol's Antics. Good stuff so far.

* People! Send me your addresses! These cards are lookin' hot, won't you want to receive one??
